The SCC4 is strictly an operating control. It CANNOT be used as a limit control. All boilers must have all
safety and limit controls required by code. It is the responsibility of the installer to verify that all the safety and
limits are working properly before the SCC4 is installed.
This control must be installed by a licensed electrician.
